Chronic kidney disease affects 30-40 million Americans, of whom several
thousand require renal replacement therapy. These selected lectures
are chosen by the HDCN editor and ASN Postgraduate Medical Director
to reflect those areas of practice of greatest interest to the
clinician, and areas where recent progress has occurred. The
web extension of these ASN lectures will allow nephrologists
and other physicians who were unable to attend the live sessions
to gain similar benefit from these presentations.
ACCREDITATION AND DESIGNATION STATEMENTS: |
Accreditation Statement
The American Society of Nephrology is accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing
medical education for physicians.
The American Society of Nephrology designates this educational
activity for category 1 credit toward the AMA Physician's Recognition
Award. Each physician should claim only those credits that he/she
actually spent in the activity.
The American Medical Association has determined that non-US
licensed physicians who participate in this CME activity are
eligible for AMA PRA category 1 credit.
All lectures selected were from Renal Week 2003, and all were put
together under supervision of the ASN Scientific
Program Committee. Web posting of lectures in the free zone was supported
by grants to the ASN from pharmaceutical companies. See each symposium
page for details of industry sponsorship and support.
FACULTY DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS : |
